Toasting by gas is done quickly and easily.

Light the oven burners, then cut the bread the desired thickness (one-half inch, unless otherwise preferred). Place it on the broiling rack and run into the warm broiling oven. Leave the door open and give the toast constant attention until every piece is out. Watch carefully and as each piece browns, turn and brown the other side. Serve at once, with or without butter, as preferred, the latter being preferable for those having weak digestive organs.

There is a gauze wire toaster made, which may be used over the flame, which does beautiful work, the gauze wire preventing the flame from reaching the toast.

Twice Baked Bread

Cut stale bread into very thin slices, arrange in a single layer on a large baking pan. Light one oven burner, place the pan in the oven and keep the oven at a very moderate heat until the bread is crisp and a delicate brown. This may be served either hot or cold (is delicious either way) and as the starch in the bread is partly converted into dextrin, it is the safest form of bread to give to a dyspeptic or invalid.
